About this comic

There are SOOOO many good examples of this kind of thing in TV and film, that clearly we needed a standard that we could apply to them all. For some reason, the Fonz jumping an actual shark in Happy Days was it. But it got me to thinking about all the horrible things that could also qualify. What are your favorites?

How about: “Ted McGinley should be here any moment now!” He’s the patron saint of the JTS website—not saying he’s a bad actor, but he’s had odd luck being hired late in more than one series that’s starting to tank.
